Russian President Vladimir Putin weighed in Monday morning, calling the test "counterproductive" and "dangerous", but he also suggested the USA and it's regional allies could bear some of the blame, saying "we must stop intimidating North Korea".

North Korea's ballistic rocket test Sunday was "aimed at verifying the tactical and technological specifications" of a newly developed missile "capable of carrying a large-size heavy nuclear warhead", the country's official KCNA news agency said Monday.

"The test firing of ICBMs will occur at any time and place, at the will of North Korea's highest leadership", Ji said.

Even though North Korea is far from its ultimate target of creating small-sized nuclear warheads, capable of carrying longer-range missiles, some believe it has already achieved its goal of building shorter-range missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads. The missile flew for about half an hour, at a greater elevation than missiles usually do, and landed in the Sea of Japan, reports said.
